The AID’s virus continues to have a devastating effect on the mortality rates in Africa. Few things are more tragic than to see an innocent child suffering from the ravages of this terrible disease.
God’s people have always had a soft place in their heart for the widows and orphans of this world. We are reminded by what James tells us, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world” (James 1:27).
We now see this teaching being practiced on the campus of Tsumeb Bible College and Nigerian Christian Bible College. In both locations our preachers not only see a practical application of Christian benevolence, but they are actively involved in working with the children.
Through these actions our students gain practical experience in “pure and undefiled religion.” How blessed we are that our campuses can serve those in the greatest need and at the same time teach real-life ministry to our students.
This year we purchased 13 new mattresses for the children at Tsumeb, but there is also a need to upgrade the kitchen appliances and to complete the addition of the National Electric Service on the campus of NCBC. Your continued help is what makes these projects possible.
